Hi there,

My indefinite is due in Feb 2012, I have 3 penalty points on my driving license for driving on international license when it was expired, they will stay on my license till may 2012, I just want to know if I can still apply for ILR and what are the chances.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Ok guys!!!
I looked on my driving licence counterpart today its shows offence code ( LC20 ), as I dont remember if i paid any fine or not but it doesnt show any fine on the counterpart, I pleaded guilty at the court and got 3 penalty points only but I did pay court fees which was £30, I am going to declare it in my application, any idea it will cause a problem?

Thanks

Fines are not written on driving licence counterpart only penalty points and offence code is written.
Now you mentioned you pleaded guilty at the court and got 3 points so did you physically went to the court :?: if you did then you have to wait until that conviction gets spent but if you just sent ur licence off to DVLA for points endorsement then it shouldn't be a problem.

Court points are considered to be more serious :shock:

Yes, I went to the court and pleaded guilty, and then I received 3 points but no fine, date of offence is 15 feb 2008 and date of conviction is 01 july 2008, I am very confused that what should I do, My spouse visa is due to expire in March.

In this case you may consider to apply for an extension

I am going to go for ILR application, I've got everything spot on so I hope this will be overlooked as this offence is almost 4 years old and case worker can obviously see that.
Wish me Luck. :D
